OPENING SERVICES.
A Red Letter Day for the Dfxwen Ave
 nua COngregaffOnal Chnrch.

A He'd Letter Day for the Dixwen Ave
 nue Congregational Church.
 The Dixwell avenue Congregational church was opened yesterday and at each service the church was crowded. The church is without doubt the finest one occupied by any colored congregation in the State. The old wooden church has been moved to the rear and placed at an angle to the new ediice and is connected with it by doors. The old church will be used as @ lecture room and for 8 Sunday school. The new church is built of brick and is 57 feet long and 34 feet wide. The interior is finished in ash with oil finish. The windows are of stained glass, but allow much light to enter the edifice. The seats in the rear are much higher than those in front, the ascent being gradual and after the style seen in our opera houses. Fully 300 people The cost of the new building and the moving $9, 900. All but about $1 300 of this amount has been collected and the congregation are working hard to pay the remainder of the debt. The pastor, Rev. A. P. Miller, preached in the morning and in the afternoon Rev. Dr. Munger occupied the pulpit. His subject was Certain Conditions Of Church Life" MT. John G. North was also present and succeeded in raising about $235. This sum will be expended in furnishing the church. In the evening Rev. Dr. Russell of Yale seminary preached a most eloquent sermon. The choir singing was of high order, solos being rendered by Miss Emma Skinner and by Mir. Theodore Thompson.

 Sporting Men Arrested 1n Bridgeport
 For Attending Fight.
 BRIDGEPORT, Jan. 2.-A cock fight between the best birds from New Haven and New York took place here at an early hour this morning and resulted very disast1ously to forty-two of the sporting men who attended and were arrested by the police, thus bring ing disaster to the main. The fight was for $90O side. It took place in a we'll known sporting resort in the city. Dugree of Troy, the well known expert, refereed the fight. Forty one of the men arrested gave bonds for their appearance before the City court to- morrow morning and will probably be fined $7 and costs, the limit for such an offense as they are charged with.
